Maton Range wasn't mentioned either. Over 12 months ago I bought my first Maton acoustic guitar. It's Maton 325C to be exact. I love it! It's got a really good pick-up system. It sounds awesome! I would have gone for the top of the range which is the Messiah EM100C if I had the money but Maton 325C will do me for now.

Also, I have a 30 year old acoustic Washburn and 15 year old 12 string yamaha acoustic.
